There has been a lot of buzz about the Cleveland Browns' fifth-round pick, Shedeur Sanders, and his potential NFL career. But not as much has been said about the guy they took two rounds earlier with the 94th overall pick, former Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel.
There are plenty of people out there dogging Gabriel because of his size concerns, understandably so, but his skill set aligns greatly with what Kevin Stefanski needs to operate his offense.
One aspect of a quarterback's game that I focus on when evaluating college players is dealing with pressure and being blitzed. Defensive coordinators love to pressure young quarterbacks and try to get inside their heads early on in a game. One thing that stood out while watching Dillon Gabriel's tape was his ability to deal with pressure, especially when a defense blitzed him.
